A friend in Zimbabwe
called and said
"It's just like Long Island
only every once in a while
you look out the window and see
a rhinoceros."

-Diane Burns

woke up this morning
feeling excellent
picked up the telephone
dialed the number of
my equal opportunity employer
to inform him that I will not
be into work today
"Are you feeling sick?"
the boss asked me
"No Sir" I replied:
I am feeling too good
to report to work today,
if I feel sick tomorrow
I will come in early
